Thank you, Laura. I will save this message and try it again. But that sounds like it will work. I will be very glad to be able to organize my folders again! Do I also need to do this with books I've already moved to the BN, if I want to reorganize them back into Tolkien/fellowship, or Tolkien/return? just the three LOTR books alone have 13 parts between them, so I'd like to be able to put them back into each books own folder.
I really appreciate these directions. I will let you know how it goes.

Sarah said that the bn has trouble navigating multiple layers of folders. I think the appropriate sentiment is "It would be easy to believe the bn has trouble navigating multiple layers of folders if you read the haphazard documentation ox the issue. LOL. OK, now that I beat that issue into the ground, again... Here is what you must do. Like you, I have a folder on my cf card called books. Within this folder, I have some files where I only have one or two books written by an author, but if I have a series or a group of books by one author, I create other folders named for the series or the author. If as move folders of this nature from the PC to the bn, simply do the following. >From the main menu, press w for keyword or b for the bookreader, whichever you want to read the book in. Select the drive you stored the boos on. Here, instead of typing in the name of the folder, press space with t (control with t) to get you into directory mode. Now, after pressing space once, you will see that you are viewing a list of the subdirectories housed within your "books" directory. You can use the space bar (arrow keys), or type the first letter of the folder as you normally would to find the directory you want. Note that this procedure could be done for as many levels of folders you have. Also note that upon selecting the subdirectory you want, you must press enter again (AFTER the initial pressing to select the subdirectories), because the bn will think you are still looking for another level of folders, and either present you with a list of them if they are present, or prompt you with "no more subdirectories." Pressing enter the second time will prompt the bn to ask you for a file name. Alternatively, when you press space with t (control with t) to switch to the directory mode, you can type out the full pathname, such as books/tolken/bookname.Whichever is your preference is fine. Once you get the hang of the directory business, it is very easy to use and that way you are able to use your preferred method of filing. Please try these instructions and let me know if they've been helpful.

I will try this right away. >Sherry ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
